Tucked beneath towering Devdar (Deodar) cedar trees at an altitude of 3,415 metres, Devdaar Cottage is more than a hotel in Gangotri — it is a sanctuary for the soul. Whether you are a devout pilgrim on the Char Dham Yatra or an adventurer chasing the glaciers of Gaumukh, our cottage welcomes you with warmth.
We believe that a great stay in Gangotri should combine comfortable beds, hot water, nourishing food, and — most importantly — the peace that only the Himalayas can offer. Our rooms are thoughtfully designed to blend simplicity with comfort.
As one of the best-positioned hotels in Gangotri, we are just minutes from the sacred Gangotri Temple, the origin of the holy Ganga (Bhagirathi River), and the trailhead to Gaumukh glacier.
Clean, cozy, and Himalaya-facing rooms for every type of traveller — pilgrims, trekkers, families, and solo adventurers.
Gangotri is one of the Char Dhams — a place of immense spiritual, natural, and cultural significance in the Indian Himalayas.
Finding the right hotel in Gangotri can make or break your pilgrimage or trekking experience. Gangotri, situated at 3,415 metres in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, receives pilgrims and trekkers only during the open season (May to November). Accommodation options range from basic dharamshalas to comfortable cottage-style hotels like Devdaar Cottage.
The Gangotri Temple typically opens on Akshaya Tritiya (April/May) and closes on Diwali (October/November). The peak season for hotels in Gangotri is May–June and September–October. During peak season, advance booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead is strongly recommended.
July and August bring heavy monsoon rains and frequent landslides on the Rishikesh–Gangotri highway. Hotels remain open, but road conditions can be unpredictable.
Gangotri is approximately 100 km from Uttarkashi and around 250 km from Rishikesh. The journey from Rishikesh takes 8–10 hours by road. Key routes pass through Chamba, Uttarkashi, and Harsil. Shared jeeps and private taxis are available from Uttarkashi to Gangotri.
The nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun (approximately 270 km away). The nearest railway station is Rishikesh.
Among all hotels in Gangotri, Devdaar Cottage stands out for its combination of location, comfort, and authentic Himalayan hospitality. Our guests consistently praise the warm service, the spectacular mountain views from room windows, and the hearty vegetarian meals prepared fresh each morning.
We accommodate pilgrims on the Char Dham Yatra, trekkers heading to Gaumukh and Tapovan, photographers, and families — ensuring every guest feels at home in the mountains.
Every room is cleaned and checked daily. We maintain the same hygiene standards whether you book a budget room or our deluxe suite. In the mountains, a clean room is not a luxury — it is a necessity.
